  1. Arian sighed. It was clear that this conversation was getting too complicated
  2. "Not everything you were taught, hoarding is good, hunting is good, its the ideological side of what you were taught that's wrong."
  3. "Yes, it is, the largest, grandest city in the world."
  4. "The existence of Fares begs otherwise."
  5. "But not as many things, if humans are anything, it's industrious."
  6. "But there are more humans than dragons."
  7. "You don't think that in the big cities they make things just for other humans right?"
  8. "Not true at all, dragons tend to be very happy; it's more humans that are impacted by nutrition and happiness."
  9. "And because you want to be there, everybody also wants to be there, both to buy your goods and to sell their goods. This causes easy access to anyone within a certain proxy, hence why there are so many people in big cities. More easy access means better nutrition and healthier lives. Healthier lives lead to happier lives. And they shift culturally towards favoring that."
  10. "It all has to do with services. If you were a merchant selling jewelry, where would you like to put your shop? The small town with a lot of farmers? Or the big city where there are more people with more money?"
  11. "Not all dragons eat meat. You can eat fruit or nuts if you want to, but you don't because dragons need the protein more than others." "Also, agriculture includes the raising of livestock like cattle or sheep."
  12. "Most food is traded from other towns that produce excess, using fewer people than it would for everyone in Aracrest to make all the food."
  13. "You would think so, but there are actually fewer farmers in Aracrest than there are in almost any other profession."
  14. "In a big city like Aracrest, how many people do you think are farmers?"
  15. "I'd guess that a large majority of them would be farmers. You'd have your blacksmith, carpenter, cobbler, tanner, miller, etc. But most of it would be focused on agriculture, or the production of food."
  16. "The humans who live in the villages near you, what profession do most of them have?"
  17. "Well, there are many dragons in these mountains that were raised like you; it's the old way of living, and it doesn't work as well as cooperation does now."
  18. "I'm pretty sure you're the different one."
  19. Arian turned and looked up at the sky, where the sunrise was lighting the clouds with the pink hues of dawn.
